You just explained metal screaming a lot better than most people have on this platform.
Hate to break it to you, but these two techniques are both absolutely not what metal singers use. They're both very quiet and there is no way you can scream with them. Metal vocalists use some different wacky shit to do what they do.
@@KorZen10 hate to break it to you but I’m a metal vocalist and these are the bases for learning how to scream and preparing for a scream
@@KorZen10 bro 💀
@@KorZen10 It really depends on the singer, some really scream and have such a low voice that it sounds like a growl (Glenn Benton), some actualy simply scream just soft enough to not hurt their throat (Tom Araya, Chuck Billy when he does extreme vocals etc.). There are so many ways to do metal vocals... Some (mostly modern metal) just use a tiny vocal fry and that sounds always the same and it's pretty terrible imho. There are also the reverse growl piggy grindcore lads 😄 (low volume too) So many different styles.
I am not good at breath retention when I exhale growl but I can inhale scream and growl really well. 🤘🏼😎
Love the "*Figuratively" flash when he said "literally"!!! Excellent!
hahah, yeh he's said it's one of his pet peeves when people say literally when it's not literally, so he actually had to correct himself for doing it 🤣🤣
@@huldradraco well Geoff and I share that pet peeve!

**Whole Earth vibrates**
Big johnson shakd
It's like an earthquake. XD Literally. XD I can do everything else but the growl. I guess I have a good excuse for not being able to go that far, because I'm a female and I don't really want to go THAT low. I'm really proud of myself for getting this low though. Thanks Geoff! :)
I dropped my headset and now it vibrates on really low bass sounds, every single word that came out of his mouth shook my skull.
This is throat singing. They do it in Mongolia, Tuva, and Tibet.

I'm a female alto but hearing your voice, I found out that I can sing lower than my teacher thought I could. Your techniques are really cool! Thank you!
Another alto/contralto here! How low can you sing. My lowest good note is a C3. I'm so sick and tired of all the people celebrating the very high notes (I have no chance at all to hit), I started to evolve my low notes, even if nobody notice it is difficult too. So I can expand my vocal range on the other end and have the possibility to sing the tenor songs, without any strain, even if it sound somekind of weird an wrong (it's still a female voice). Because there are nearly no good songs for contraltos in musicals or films.

@mijalheinrich4331 My range is from about F3 to E5, but I'm in my 60s now and don't have time to practice. I know I can go lower, but I really haven't done that too often. There is a place,"musicnotes" that you will find helpful. It has all types of music and you can change keys and see the range. Cher is a great alto to listen to.
@@mijalheinrich4331 YESSS!!! I can hit a G2 comfortably without these tricks - so going into this video, I am STOKED to keep expanding my range down!! 😁
Exactly like you said, we get it - singing high is impressive. But I've been playing in the whistle tone range since I was in about 2nd grade. Singing *low* however? I didn't figure out until I turned 30!!
Not to mention - how many female vocalists do you know who can sing the low registers? Not *nearly* as many as can figure out the high notes. 😁
I found out I was a contra alto mostly thanks to Geoff overall
Besides valuing the info given, my "like" was for the honest, humble style in which Geoff presented the techniques.

this one made me lol
@@allistercrow2405 yeah, me too! How to sing low? Answer, have a low voice lol 😁
На-на! :))))) It's so hilarious!!!!
For anyone who was wondering, the subharmonic technique works like this: sound is made up of vibrations, slower vibrations make lower noises. When he is using the vocal fry, the hum is a slower vibration, making the note deeper. Hope this was helpful!
Thank you so much for these tips as they are concise and practical, I can now pitch down from falsetto to my lowest register in the same sustain. You are truly a rare talent and inspiration to the rest of us.

Not "just a bass" a true Basso Profundo. Amazing!
He's lying, it's all in the hair...the longer the hair = the lower your notes. That's why Geoff, Tim, and Avi have long hair.
lol
You’re on to something... Alright it’s decided I’m growing out my hair
Can't beat that logic.
What about Vince Neil? 😂
My hair is down to my ass. Everything suddenly makes sense.
I'm so glad I found you. As a female with a natural deep voice since I was a child it's not expected of me to sound so low and most tutorials are to sing high notes. I'll be practicing. I also would love to throat sing. Thank you from the Scottish Highlands 😎🤘
I'm so not a singer, in any way, shape or form, but I am in constant amazement at how you are able to make your singing voice go so low!
You and Tim are the best bass because y’all compliment each other

Plus Avi
Melvin Franklin, and Tim Storms can go deeper than Avi.
@@christianhenry4173 yes, but also avi has been known to blow out speakers and he uses overtone, which i dont believe either him or tim can do. So all three are talented
christian henry omg Tim storms is a legend he’s literally has the deepest voice in the world. Avi doesn’t have to much of a range.
Me, after Geoff first showing the growl technique: “wow, that’s really low!”
Geoff: “once you get on mic and you cue the air out of it”
Geoff: “ *_seismic demon sound_* ”
My headphones literally rattled
Ok I saw your comment and was like, oh ok so like, a growl ya know. Like he demonstrated previously. But holy fUck
EQ the air out of it. Use an Equalizer on the mic line to eliminate high frequencies like moving air.
Hi Geoff, best greetings from Italy!
I play bass guitar and your advices are helping me to play better bass lines and really feel the notes I play; your tutorials are also useful to improve my English!
I think it’s incredible you can go that deep. I’ve been following your videos and singing for a short while now and continue to be impressed
His normal voice blows my mind. Forget lower. Now I have lost any ambition of being able to sing with bass. All the bass in the world is with this guy. None is left for me
Check out Venus Theory. His talking voice is quite mind-blowing, too.

@@vidarhjal I think I got some. My voice is still getting lower and I can sing a D2
My father-in-law uses the "growl" to put babies to sleep. Its basically magic, he can take any crying baby, hold them to his chest and do the "growl" and they just put their head down on his shoulder and quietly fall asleep. Best party trick ever.

"If your voice starts to hurt, stop" "there's no way around it, the first 500 times it's gonna hurt like hell"
Very underrated comment my friend 😂
Seems like the type of thing that needs to be practiced once a day, every (or maybe every other) day.
What he means is that growls do hurt in the beginning and they really do, but if you continue to do it while your Throat hurts, you can seriously really fuck up your vocal chords, And what we was saying with this was to not rush it, practising stuff like this takes time, so if your throat starts to really hurt, "take a break and try again later"
Bruv i tried growling 3 times and im coughing my toes out rn
@@MrClaeb-lf7mp coughing my toes out 😂😂😂😂😂
Your voice is amazing!
Just found your channel. GREAT video, Geoff! You helped me a LOT on the the tips for me and the groups I sing bass in. I'm ALLways looking for tips and tricks for better quality both high and low.
Geoff: “If it hurts, you should stop.”
Also Geoff: “It’s gonna hurt like hell the first 500 times you do it.”
😂😂😂
basically, at first, take lotsa breaks
If hurts you're doing it wrong.
It will dry your chords, both vocal and false, it you put the fry in the wrong part of your throat, so aim to make the sounds above your chords and use the throat shape to create the harmonics and resonance. And have good by breath support, as if you were preparing to belt. When you first find where to make the sound and how you are not using your main vocal chords, it is surprising as hell 😄
My jaw literally d r o p p e d - no one has ever explained and demonstrated sub-harmonic technique so clearly, holy crap
Connor Bruley David Larson goes very into detail, you should check him out if you haven’t already
@@colefountain1030 he's a hack ...
Agni Das in what way? He seems to know what he’s talking about. He’s not an expert, but he doesn’t claim to be, and the points he does know he explains about as clearly as Geoff does here.
@@agnidas5816 I would not say he’s a hack. He’s a very clear lyric baritone that taught himself to sing lower through shear willpower and throwing stuff at a wall. He honestly is the best subharmonic singer in the world (not that big of a selection lol).
I find this quite inspiring. Your speaking voice sounds like mine, and I always thought that singing was not really something I could ever become good at, because everything was out of my range. It's great to see you turning a particularity into an asset like this.
After about a year and a half of practice with subharmonics (after learning them from this video) I can now semi-consistently vibe in the first octave. Thanks for helping me with this, and can’t wait for your next song!
Avi: (long hair)

lol im soprano too but its fun to watch bass xdxd
So, welcome to the world of earthquakers.
His normal talking voice is like an octave and a half below mine, so I'm already off to a bad start.
Can I get an Amen?
I honestly have no clue scientifically how much ones speaking voice correlates to their singing. I'm only a 15 yr old learning bass and i speak right in between the 2st and 3rd octave which would make me more speak in an average baritone even though I know for a fact I'm a bass singer. I guess I can't say much about it until I grow much older since everyone's voice is always maturing, especially basses. But yeah, i don't know how much one's speaking voice correlates to their part. Probably has a lot to do with age
@@raphaelkelly861 I speak around an g2 and I'm a baritone
I’m a 17 year old bass baritone and I speak between G2-E2 sometimes too - my earliest recollection of my vocal range was D2-A3 and now I’m topping at A4 in full voice and I’m put in the choir’s tenor section because I can, largely thanks to mixed voice. I know a tenor only a year ahead of me who can hit C2s (and he is definitely a tenor, he’s just practiced his lows a lot and he also likes getting into vocal fry too) too.
Vocal types are really broad so it’s all about your speaking voice and your natural timbre.
@@themriron2391 Same here, I talk between a E2 and G2, my lowest It's a D2, in a good day a C2, and my highest (in chest) is a G4 (I'm not saying I can belt that high everytime, normally is an E4 ), I'm 16.
Thank you so much Geoff! I've been using this "tutorial" to expand my bass voice as well. I have been practicing for about 6 months now and I've gotten pretty good at it. I came back to this video to check my progress and I can do most of it except the "growl". I can finally hit the bottom of the scale that you sang at the beginning of the video.
Thank you Geoff! Fantastic tips!!!

Wow you have a very beautiful bass voice, even when you speak , such a deep, full, clear, warm and trained sound😻💠✨
That last piece of advice has really been the key insight in my own singing journey. I find that as I've gotten better at using the middle parts of my voice, the extremes have likewise gotten easier to manage, without even focusing on them.
"it's gonna hurt like hell"
"if it hurts, take a break"
hmm
you only do it for a few seconds each time then wait to do it again ,rinse and repeat until success
So to summarise, take a break
I am gonna be honest I didn't listen now my throat hurts like hell
i took a break, grew up and now i can do it, thanks

Yeah pretty much 😂
Stolen comment
Try inward bass singing
Im not a girl, but my voice is decently higher than his and I can get a very inconsistent and out of tune a1
Says he’s terrible at subharmonics, but... Oogie Boogie...
So true
lmao
He hits the same E1 from the Oogie Boogie song at 5:29
You forget that is pre-recorded with multiple takes most likely and definitely been through some software. This is coming from my own experience on the same stuff.
Omg yes😱😱
As a beatboxer, I think there was a way to sing deeply, it requires a perfect mix between your singing voice and vocal fry, and of course, you have to sing low, while what Geoff said about the growl, is basically like mongolian throat singing, or in beatboxing terms, the throat bass, or the vibration bass
Late to this, but the growl that Geoff was talking about, in beatboxing terms, is chest bass.
Since Mongolian throat singing, aka. throat bass/vibration bass (the subharmonic version of throat bass), uses the arytenoid cartilages to create the vibration by overlapping with our normal voice, while the growl, aka. chest bass, uses the epiglottis to vibrate, which does not include our voice.
That's why you can vocalise the growl/chest bass in order to have, in beatboxing terms, vocalised chest bass, which is well-known for being used by Bass Ventura, Colaps, Sxin, etc.
Geoff, you have a wonderful voice...you are a very talented man...your videos are great...the best!!!! ❤️
"How to sing low:
Have low voice"
of course
I am a voice coach and I am a tenor. I have a student who is a bass singer and this video has been amazingly helpful and beneficial. Truly. His range is reaching new lows that he didn't know was possible. Thanks.
Reaching new lows. That made me laugh. Thank you
One of the few times where reaching new lows are actually desirable
I personally think tenors and bass voices are a myth. With the right practice, you can do both
@@starshot5172 ahahaha 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡
@@user-ze5nw4ks5t We had a guy in our church choir singing tenor for like years and some time ago he switched to bass. It was pretty bad in the beginning, of course, but he really improved in the span of like two hours. I definitely thought of him as just a tenor.
Could be that some people just have a larger vocal scale by default, but I'm pretty sure it's about training. I am a baritone, so I've naturally had to train my voice to go all kinds of places (because of lack of songs I can comfortably sing in the proper key) and my vocal range has improved a LOT, be it bass or tenor.
Please do share your opinion on the issue (you can write in Russian, I can read it).
Wow! These techniques take me back to my choir days in high school. I was mostly a baritone but I slid down to bass depending on what I was required to sing. I had a crazy range when I was 17. I could go to low base up to tenor and sometimes higher. Thank you for taking me back to my younger days.
I’m in that situation now. It’s nice
Your voice is amazing. I found myself humming along with you.

Geoff, you don’t give yourself enough credit
he didnt do the E1 perfectly, it came out flat which if anything is actually even more impressive
I've never met an artist of any kind that gives themselves the credit they deserve. That's what makes a successful artist. They're always trying to get better at their art.
it took me 2 weeks to hit c1 with nice clear tone... we are just built differently bro. insted its been a 3 years struggle for me to hit higher notes, some progress, yes.. But i just cant go high and it dosnt matter how mutch i want it. i mean my headvoice starts at b2.. Yes im in headvoice, B2! and its F#####in impossble to hit c4 without going into falsetto.... yes, c1 sounds frikking awesome to hit, and how it resonance.. feels pritty damn good. yes. But thats also pritty mutch it.. a few awsome notes thats almost never really used.... Guess how many songs i can sing with a range from e2 and c4, maybe d4.... its like 10 songs.. i wish i could be a barritone or any other range for that matter. Yes, obviously some lower bass singer hits barritone easily. But trust me, Geoff range, and his vocal skill. Its like comparing a 100m olympic runner with a amature highschool 100m runner that is best in his school. few people can do what he can do. few! in my experience, if your talking voice isnt around f2 b2, ish. +- 3 tones.. something like that... its deffinatly not impossible, ive heard a guy with a very high speaking voice and i guess is like treble, maybe even tenor. but he hits c1d1e1f1 even subhormnic perfectly.. soo, who am i to say what can or cant be done... but if you tried for 2 years, then either there is something wrong with how you practice, idk. then something can be done. othertwise. maybe you should practice to hit notes thats more comfortable for you insted? just saying. i will never say to anyone, "you cant", all im saying, 2 years bro.. 2 years.. maybe its time to change strategy?

@@phillpauley6672thats the trick.. or, i would rather say, that the key for sucess, dosnt matter in what field. everyone who is successfull has the same personal trait in them. wich is as simple as they want it more then anyone else... nothing else matter as mutch.. sure natural gifted, good suport and all that is very important. but at end of the day. the one who wants it the most will end up on top. its just a matter of time. its actually at the same time, sad. becuse to achive something great also demands a little bit crazy.. success always comes with a huge price. you have to give up to achive, and for someone to pay that price for a maybe in ten years i could be that 1% that actually makes it.. yes, its a obsession. yes its mental.. yes yes yes..

Thank you, this is very helpful! I would really love to be able to go as deep as Thurl Ravenscroft, but honestly getting anywhere close to bass would be wonderful. I find low notes very soothing, and am excited to practice these methods to try and get there
You have a special and rare gift. I am a frustrated BASSO PRETENDO, several decades older than you. Since I heard JD Sumner as a young teen, I wanted a bass voice, and tried hard to achieve... nothing. From middle C to G I sound like a heavy, powerful bass, but my volume and timbre fall off below that. Thanks for the pointers; I shall try again! Thanks for the advice at the end; pitch, intonation, articulation, projection, and breath control are more important than low notes. I am sharing your video with a couple of proteges that are up and coming, with ranges that are lower than mine. Perhaps they can employ your techniques. As for me, I thank God that at my age, I can still sing in a large church and not need a mic.

The first time I heard your voice which was like...a week or two ago lmao I listened to your version of Misty Mountains Cold and I immediately told myself that I wanted my voice to go that low; I'm going to keep practicing because I hit a note earlier that I never thought possible and I want to keep doing that. Thank you for inspiring me to try new things and go out of my comfort zone.
I've never gone below D#2 before, but thanks to that subharmonic trick I just hit G1. This video was immensely helpful
Step 1: Have a deep ass voice.
Yeas that's Talent
Step 2: have long hair
I have it but normally i use higher notes to speak, but when it comes to imitate Elvis Presley or Leonard Cohen it becomes rly funny. But i want to hit a lot lower notes, but i have no place to train this :(
I speak also with deep voice as normal, but i love to switch my tones and notes while speaking so i can speak higher but my base voice note is much lower ;)
haha jokes on all of you i have both a deep ass voice and really long hair, and apparently i just tested i can naturally drop the register into subharmonics
As a bass singer, this is the most comprehensive bass singing lesson I’ve seen on UA-cam. I’ve been singing bass for years and I feel I’ve leveled up by 100,000 exp in 7 minutes.
From all the bass singers on here, thank you Geoff. You’re a monster and a gentleman.
Wow, awesome. Thanks for sharing!
I've been trying for weeks and just hit my first few subharmonics. I can hit all of 2 notes, F and G. Thank you so much!
I did not expect him to have a natural deep voice honestly lol
He started talking I was like "ohhhhhhh. Now it makes sense" xD
I think you're cute.
@@DanteLikesRock I liked your book dante but the sequel was better.
It's not that hard but all its about is control and training. Like I can hit rly low notes but I don't control them. But someday ... oh yeah they will work as I want ;)
Geoff: it’s gonna hurt like hell
Me: no way
*loses my voice in 10 minutes*
Honestly there's a better way to learn it. There's a different way but it's from the beatbox community. We call it "throat bass" and there's plenty of variations, such as vibration bass. The basses can warp, such as evil bass, alien bass and such, but they won't be what you're looking for if you want to do bass singing
hahaha yes, I´m a girl and tried too hahaha in some minutes I was sounding like a dog hahaha
@@alexlozanov7640 Ah yes, a fellow beatboxer
I already can sing low and high lmao
Please make more music using wider ranges of your voice. Your voice is awesome and I feel like you're depriving me of even more beautiful sounds!
You're not only a fascinating singer, but also a very comfortable person! Thanks for tips, tried them! Even with my sopranoish voice it kinda works😅
First bass singer I’ve heard who didn’t criticize vocal fry.
I love how I genuinely want to learn this skill but I’m a 17 year old girl...
lol you can still learn these, maybe growl might not be as effective for you, you might just sound like a baby dragon trying to learn how to spit fire. you can try sub-harmonics tho, going an entire octave below your chest voice is huge but it takes a lot of practice.
You can totally do this as a girl!! Ella Fitzgerald (kinda) does the subharmonics in her long solo on ‘How High the Moon’ (near the end). It just sounds different and not as low as this video, but it is possible and adds an octave to your range :)!
i'm actually trying it myself aswel(26 female) i have litteraly no idea how to do it. I don't know how to relax my voice. And i can go already very low for a girl but i would love to go even lower with my voice (used to smoke a lot witch helps but a very very bad habbit)
I feel like I'm kinda figuring out the growl ngl, but it's not as if I have editing software to see if I'm making low notes
@@helenamcdonald5042 i do have the software but not the right mic XD I only have a headset(a cheap one)
The beginning of a fantastic you tube channel. I think you are growing with every song you do. Literally. Also just your speaking voice is BASS
You know, people have always been telling me I could be a bass, but I never believed it. Then I see your videos and realize, while I have the advantage of a lower voice, getting where I want is training, and patience. Thank you for the motivation to do work towards something I've only ever considered a fantasy. Your songs are just absolutely amazing.
Alternate title: Treebeard shows you how to be one with the earth itself
L OOOOOO L...MY GOD
BEST COMMENT !!!
it still blows my mind that Treebeard was voiced by the Actor of Gimli
The best part is, if you have closed captions on for Oogie Boogie Song, when he says "man" at the end, the CC says "subterranian" lol
The speakers on my phone couldn't produce the growl at 2:53. I literally only heard a little bit of air moving. I had to switch to my headphones to even hear it. Insane.
Gotta be a Samsung
@@swaggyp2823 my Samsung does well with bass :p
Wear headphones!!!
@@rudarud3849 That's literally what I said I did....
@@swaggyp2823 It's a cheap phone, a Vivo. I'd rather spend my money on other things.
Excellent explanation of technique!
love your voice!
If you'd like to know the physics behind why the subharmonics work: the pitch you want, say a G1, will have the same frequency as the intersection of its fifth, a D2, and its octave, a G2. When you relax your voice in that very specific way you allow your false cords(the ones used for fry) to resonate at the fifth while you simultaneously use your primary cords(the ones for the majority of singing and speaking) to produce the octave.
A similar effect can be achieved with two separate instruments playing at the same interval. It's all just in the nature of the sound waves.
Yes essentially. Here’s some more explanation I wrote a while back with a bit of maths.
Every time you go up an octave, the frequency of the note is doubled (eg. A4 = 440hz, A5 = 880hz, A2 = 110hz etc). Let’s take the note A2 (110hz). Let’s use A2 as the fundamental to produce an A1. A perfect fifth above A2 is E3 (roughly 164.814hz). We know the vocal cords during subharmonics vibrate in a 3:2 ratio. The ratio between a tonic note and a perfect fifth is about a 3:2 ratio (give or take). So the ratio of E3:A2 is 3:2 (110hz = 2, so 55 = 1, therefore 3 = 3 x 55 which is 165, so E3 = 165 (roughly). This means when doing subharmonics, your vocal cords vibrate to relax at a 3:2 ratio, meaning they’re basically vibrating a perfect 5th apart. I would assume this also means you can also hear a bit of an E3 in the the subharmonics while you’re doing this. As for why singing in a perfect 5th produces an octave undertone? I don’t know. I’d assume it’s because the vocal cords are physically in contact with each other for less time as they’re vibrating at different speeds, so I would assume the fact that they are in contact with each other less frequently, let’s say they’re only in contact with each only 55 times a second (55hz = A1) instead of the usual 110 times a second like a normal A2 is (110hz), produces that octave drop below the fundamental.
@@matthewdockray9745 The short behind why is sounds as the undertone is, as far as I understand, because our human ears are not terribly smart. Every note produces overtones in its harmonic series. So if you get a big, bass-y A1(Thanks Geoff) that note is actually sounding as an A1, 110Hz, and then decreasingly loud like an A2-220Hz, E3-330Hz, A4-440Hz, etc. Because of this natural phenomena, the brain is already accustomed to hearing the harmonic series when a note is truly produced so hearing that same series the brain helps to make it sound a bit more normal by filling in some gaps.
Minor detail you missed, it's actually your normal cords doing this, left chord and right chord... The frequencies have a triplet pattern, and our ears only really hear whenever both chords hit at the same time.
@@leopirdas6577, how could your true vocal cords produce two notes at the same time? I always hear people say that your singing two notes at the same time, to me it seems more like the vocal cords are only actually making contact half the number of times that they're supposed to and that's why the note is an octave lower. And then your brain for some reason fills in the original note so you end up hearing two notes when in reality you're just singing one
Would you agree?
@@chrismartinez144 partly. It's like this, your right chord vibrates 220 times a second, the left goes 330 times a second, but they only hit 110 times a second, so we hear the 110 hz. However, that note doesn't technically exist (it won't really show up on those pitch graph thingy ma dolly whoopers). That make sense?
My whole argument is that it's only your normal vocal folds vibrating, your false folds aren't vibrating in *this* subharmonic technique. Your false folds are engaged whenever you're doing kagyraa or throat singing/throat bass
